The one in Kanab, UT is still available. Even at the price they're asking, still a deal over say... a Snot Trac! If I had a place to store it, I'd probably just buy it. But I do that too much. The owner of my rented storage sheds has made enough money off me to run for and win a place in the state legislature.

Spied this in an equipment yard near Area 51 in NV. Not sure what they could possibly be using it for, not much but desert out there. Maybe they haul UFO nuts to the top of Tikaboo Peak in the winter?! It appeared to be undergoing PMRs.

I see mtmogs looking, sure to get the straight scoop shortly...

Nice find! It's U900/406, same chassis as mine. It is the shorter wheelbase variant of the 416 (2380mm v. 2900).

Well, I will remember those comments when I have your KRISTI all torn down in the shop! lol. Remember mine was running before I decided to completely rebuild it. Picking up my frame rotissories today! Will pull the body and mount up the frame.

Bob,

I only need a Kristi to get out of buying the beer. I have too many other toys to get another. I'm also not in the right climate to justify a seasonal machine. I've seen a couple (although I don't recall what they're called) that are all-season which is something I may be able to consider. It looked kind of the shape of a VW bug with only a ROPS on the top. The pics I saw were setup for logging.

THERES more running Snow Tracs today than there were Kristis made!

Even if a Snot Trac wasn't a one-season machine, I still wouldn't recommend it.

Spotted these two while land-hunting in NH two weeks ago. Owned by the snowmobile club in Jefferson. One of the memebers was there and told me that these two were recent upgrades from two of the same makes. So, there may be an old Tucker sitting in a yard up there somewhere. He said there is another club in nearby Lancaster with a machine or two as well.

Note the registration sticker on the window. Anyone know the NH snow cat laws? I should find out since I hope to move there with my Kristi before the years out.

Bob like you said you will be bringing a Kristi. Everyone knows a Kristi isnt a "REAL" Snowcat.

[Bobcat]

Yer right. I keep forgettin. It's an all-season cat.

BobP and Sno-op.............if you guys ever get your Krusti and snot trac together and want to go out for a spin in the woods, call me and I'll come make a trail for ya!


Hey....just tryin to be nice!

[NorthernRedneck]

Although............what I've noticed on these forums is that I've never seen any RECENT pics of operational Kristi's out in the feild playing in the deep stuff! And I know there are pics on here of operational sno( )-tracs.

That's OK. Kristis make their own trails.

And while LameTracs and Snot Tracs have some pictures of them operating on roads (like your picture above) and in fields, the powder is just too deep to step off and get a picture from a Kristi!

These pictures taken from snow shoes. Check out the thread and the pics.

Thanks bc, and continue the good work... It tastes great on a hot summer day.... We will save you "honorary" members" some if the supply keeps up with the demand....

Bombardier J5. Pixie has two, I think.
Here's one for sale...

Does that say "LAME TRAC" on the front of it?

[Snowcat Operations]

Those J5s are work horses! Usually they are kept working year round hauling tress and such. They arent a true snowcat since they are heavy but man they sure can take some abuse!
